Athletes competing in the British Skeleton reach speeds of up to 140 kilometres per hour and experience G-forces up to 5G whilst lying face down on what appears to be little more than a high-tech tea tray. Tesa’s premium acrylic coated cloth tape is used on the handles of the special grade mild steel saddle.
